Martin Brothers
Why California’s Most Decorated Fireproofing Contractor Chose The EDGE
Martin Brothers is an all-inclusive commercial drywall and fireproofing contractor responsible for some of California’s most recognizable landmarks — including the Wilshire Grand Tower, Riverside Community Hospital, and the Jill & Frank Fertitta Hall at USC. A three-time Alliance for Quality Construction Q Award winner, Martin Bros. holds itself to a standard that demands estimating software to match.
Before The EDGE, the company relied on a cumbersome in-house database that was slow to update and limited how many bids estimators could complete. After discovering The EDGE at a National Fireproofing Contractors Association meeting, they replaced their system entirely. Chief Estimator Joe Colavita now uses The EDGE’s continuously updated UL designs, fireproofing materials database, and thousands of steel members to manage complex, multi-revision projects like the Wilshire Grand Tower. “Fireproofing companies need to take a look at The EDGE,” he said. “There really aren’t any other programs out there that are as comprehensive.”
